On tap at the brewery on Father’s Day. Pours black in color with a small foamy tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, weak coffee, smoke, cinnamon, and booze. Taste of roasted malt, old coffee, cardboard, and hints of vanilla. On the flat side, like half the beers I’ve tried here today!

On tap at the brewpub, served in a tasting glass. Pours clear ruby-chestnut with a small tan head that fades to a thin remnant and leaves a moderate amount of fine lace. The nose has big coffee and roast malts with a touch of smoke. The flavour is dry with roasty notes, coffee and perhaps a touch of chocolate. The finish is short and soft with a nice roastiness. On the palate it is medium in body with a smooth, watery texture and soft carbonation. Overall this is a decent roasty ale with very smooth malts but a bit too light in body for the style. 2014-05-02

Tasted on hand pump at Forest & Main. Pours dark brown with a toffee head. Nose is roasted malts, coffee beans, and chocolate. Flavour is more hoppy than the nose suggests. Very light bodied for a Stout.

Tap flight at the brewpub. Dark black pour with a well laced egg shell head. Aroma is charred wood and dark cacao. Tasty is roasty with a touch of fennel seed and anise. Much more flavorful than expected. Dry in the mouth. A great dry stout.
